Equipment
Depending on your requirements, we can image fast or at high resolution, on live or fixed samples, and on thin or thick specimens.
Our systems support imaging of slides, multi-well plates, and dishes. We also provide long-term live-cell imaging using controlled environmental conditions.
For large-scale experiments, high-throughput systems can automatically scan multi-well plates and generate both qualitative and quantitative data.

Slide scanners are available for fast, large-scale imaging of many samples.

Widefield microscopes
Applications: Fast imaging but with lower resolution than confocal.
Example samples: Fixed cells; FISH; Immunofluorescence; Live cell imaging with strong signals
Confocal microscopes
Applications: 3D z-stacks; Multi-channel fluorescence; Tile scan
Example samples: 2D cell culture; Tissue sections; Fixed immunostained samples; Live cells expressing
Spinning disc confocal microscopes
Applications: Faster than scanning confocal; Live-cell imaging with reduced phototoxicity; Large field of view or z-stacks
Example samples: Live cell dynamics; Organoids; Fast biological processes; 3D cell cultures
Slidescanner microscopes
Applications: Automated imaging of slides (tissue sections); Large area scanning
Example samples: Histological sections; Whole slide imaging; Clinical pathology samples
Lightsheet microscopes
Applications: Rapid 3D imaging; Imaging of large fixed samples
Example samples: Cleared tissue samples; Embryos; Organoids; Whole small organisms
